    8x33 in open bolt BD42(H)

    Friend of mine was having a terrible time tonight with his reloads in the BD42(H), which fires from an open bolt.
    Same loads worked fine from his BD44 which fires from a closed bolt. In the BD42(H) Half of the rounds would not go off even though primers were hit by floating firing pin.

    As you can see the brass is Priva either with the PPU or GRAF headstamps

    I'm thinking the primer pockets are to deep.
